How to Calibrate a DIY Cintiq like build.
This guide shows how to tailor the calibration manually to suit ones use of a DIY Cintiq
Build. This is based on the Intuos4 Large assuming screen placer templates from
TabletMod have been used. A single monitor set-up is used. The process is the same for
dual screen set-ups.
Start the Wacom Tablet Properties and switch to the Mapping Tab. Here, select Portion
from the Tablet Area drop down menu (Fig.1)

Note:
Reducing the bottom right coordinate for the Screen Area moves the cursor to the left of
the pen tip.
Increasing the top left coordinate, lowers the cursor.
Adjusting the screen area in this way limits the area the pen covers on screen. With the
coordinates used above, there is just enough to access the vertical scroll bar of a
maximised window.
There is a slight offset of the cursor to the left and below the pen tip (a personal preference
of the author).
There will always be some drift towards the edges of the screen depending on the amount
of offset.
